Are you attending the Monday, February 22 Session? "Chrome Music Lab & BandLab in the classroom" Clinician - Harry Wagg - Lynnfield High School.

Teaching Students with Disabilities/Band/Orchestra/Jazz Band: "Reaching Students with Disabilities in Ensemble Settings, Remote and In Person" Clinician - Shana Pistilli. Engaging students with disabilities in ensemble settings can be very challenging for music educators. Shana Pistilli has spent much of her teaching career working with students with disabilities in instrumental ensembles. In this session we will explore and discuss some challenges that may arise for students with disabilities, specifically in an ensemble setting, and some strategies that you can bring back to your classroom and rehearsals.

General Interest: "Hip-Hop in the Music Classroom" Clinician - Meaghan O'Connor-Vince - Barnstable Public Schools. This workshop will show music educators how to effectively use Hip-Hop and MusicFirst as tools to teach students listening skills, composition, analysis and evaluation of music, sequencing, recording, and basic production techniques. This presentation provides a Hip-Hop composition unit with descriptions of lessons, resources, rubrics, and general student directions intended to produce tangible and authentic assessments of student learning for each project/song.

General Music: "Is it Music Class? Is it Social Studies Class? The Answer is YES!" Clinician - Susie Petrov - PK-5 Music, Lynn Public Schools / Co-Director, Kodály Music Institute. The days are gone when a general music teacher could open a textbook and follow the series from one chapter to the next. All song collections are a product of their time and place and we are now called upon to inspect our repertoire and curriculum through a new lens of socially conscious awareness of the needs of our students. I would like to encourage colleagues to rise to the challenge and enjoy the fruits of your research and discoveries. Participants will come away with songs, games, and activities that can be adapted to a variety of teaching situations- online, hybrid, and in-class.

Chorus (Note - this session runs 7:30 - 8:30): "African American Spirituals" Clinician - Dr. Felicia Barber - Professor of Music Education, Westfield State University / President of MA ACDA. The presentation will include the topics of themes of spirituals, spirituals in concert, and the history of spirituals. This presentation would be great for both general music teachers and choral music teachers. Dr. Barber has recently conducted a thorough study on Spirituals including the dialect of spirituals and has a book on these topics due out in March. This presentation is in conjunction with MA ACDA.

No Tuesday Session. I will only be attending the Monday Technology Session
